Volume 1 In the Countryside Chapter 49: Enjoying Music and Doing Questions, Gourmets and Wicked Guests
A gentle breeze blew into the hall. When Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen heard Zhang Shou's words, they looked at this "teacher" with completely different eyes.
Lu Sanlang was so ecstatic that he burst into tears of gratitude. Although Zhu Ying's piano playing could not be said to be so beautiful that it could make one's ears pierce the earth with magic, if he had to rack his brains to praise her, that would be even more terrifying than such a beautiful sound. He would rather do a dozen math problems!
Zhang Chen was horrified and lost hope. He sincerely thought Zhu Ying played the piece well, and most importantly, there was no showy technique at all. He found it very comfortable and pleasant to listen to, and that was enough. Why would he waste his time listening to such a good piece of music instead of doing exercises!
Zhu Ying, on the other hand, was relieved. She didn't really like playing the piano, after all, everyone's praise was insincere, and she wasn't a fool. But when Ah Liu, who had just taken a shortcut, brought the news, she saw that Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen were extremely nervous, and her heart was pounding, so when Zhang Shou asked her to play the piano to calm her mind, she immediately agreed.
At this moment, Zhang Shou indicated that he didn't need to play anymore, and asked Lu Sanlang and Zhang Chen to do the questions. She didn't complain at all, and watched the fun with a smile on her face. Seeing Zhan Jin bringing a basin of water to ask her to wash her hands, she smiled and pouted at Liu Yin, and when she saw him, she immediately brought a box of snacks to Zhang Shou, and she raised her eyebrows at him.
Zhang Shou knew that there were walnut crisps inside - he had to admit that Zhu Ying knew all about his hobbies these days. However, he had eaten dinner early on purpose, so he really didn't have much appetite at this moment. Even though he had experienced many storms in his previous life, including the enemy's unscrupulous plots, it was a car accident and assassination before, and now it was a chaotic army.
There is no doubt that for him, the former was a momentary shock, while the latter was a long and thrilling process.
In modern society, real fights with swords and guns are not that common... not to mention that you are not facing one person but a group of people!
To be honest, Zhu Ying really refreshed his understanding of the five words "rich lady" time and time again.
Of course, Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang's brave attitude of working together despite being afraid was also very touching. He thought they were the two most interesting people among the group of playboys, and they were really brave.
As he was thinking, Zhang Shou casually picked up a piece of walnut crisps. Thinking of the almond biscuits that he loved to eat in the future, he couldn't help but sigh. Domestic almonds are better than American almonds in various medicinal effects, but the problem is that the indescribable taste is really hard for him to like, including the almond juice that he has always hated the most. So since he traveled through time, his taste has changed to walnut crisps...
Peanuts hadn't come from America yet...
Thinking that the consequence of traveling through time would be not having enough delicious food and having to face life-and-death crises, and the uninvited guests who should have arrived long ago were still not showing up, he suddenly felt a sense of evil and could not help but humming in a low voice.
“I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. I would rather live without bamboo than live without peanuts. I would rather live without peanuts than live without tomatoes. I would rather live without tomatoes than live without corn. I would rather live without corn than live without potatoes. I would rather live without potatoes than live without lobsters. I would rather live without lobsters than live without peppers…”
Zhu Ying, who was initially very interested in the topic, was stunned. Zhang Chen, who was scratching his head and could not figure out the answer, could not help but raise his head and asked in confusion, "What is peanut tomato?"
As he asked this question, a deep voice came from outside the door: "I'm also curious, what are corn potatoes?"
Zhang Shou immediately glanced at Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang, and seeing that Lu Sanlang was so focused that he didn't seem to notice the person outside, he gave Zhang Chen a warning look. The next moment, thinking that his acting skills were not up to par and that Zhang Chen was very nervous, he immediately buried his head in the questions and didn't dare to look up.
At this time, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Oh, it's so late, there are still people coming to visit and learn? Zhan Jin, go and open the door curtain and see who is so eager to learn."
As soon as she said this, she saw Zhan Jin, who was peeling a pear, paused, as if he was trembling with fear. She immediately glared at him angrily: "You only know how to please Ah Shou, and you don't even listen to me! Humph, I 'd like to go and see who's coming... Grandpa Ge has been gone for so many days. If he really wanted to ask Ah Shou for advice, he would have come a long time ago. Who else would come to visit you at this time!"
Zhang Shou saw Zhu Ying stood up and went to answer the door in person, not caring at all that the people coming might be a group of vicious soldiers. He subconsciously called out, "Yingying!"
How could he let Zhu Ying, a girl, face such danger alone?
Seeing that the young lady really stopped in her tracks, he took a deep breath and smiled as if nothing had happened: "Since you are here because you are curious about corn and potatoes, I think you are of the same kind as me in terms of gourmet food, apart from other things. How can I not greet you in person?"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out. When he passed Zhu Ying, he laughed out loud, "A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but I am not a gentleman. What I love most is the desire for food. Corn is a staple food that can be used to fill the stomach, but there is a type that is crispy, sweet and juicy, and tastes the best. As for potatoes, they can also be used to fill the stomach, but they taste even better when fried with vinegar..."
As he said this, Zhang Shou calmly opened the door curtain and saw a middle-aged man standing alone outside with several followers guarding the two sides of the steps below. He smiled and nodded, "You are a guest, please come in."
Seeing that Zhang Shou didn't even ask his name, he turned around and walked in with dignity, ignoring the open door behind him. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and finally followed him in.
Although he had washed his face, changed his clothes, and removed the smell of blood from his body before entering Rongshui Village, he was still worried that he would be discovered. When he entered the house and found that Zhu Ying, Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang were all there, he felt relieved.
Even if those people who sneaked into other houses make mistakes, as long as he can personally ensure that the three people here are in his hands, he will be invincible this time!
Therefore, he immediately gave up the idea of pretending to be nice, straightened his back, took two steps forward calmly, and then raised his hand and saluted casually: "I am Ding Hai, the commander of the left army of Linhai Camp. I greet Miss Zhu, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu San... Oh, and Mr. Zhang Shou, the new disciple of Mr. Ge who loves to eat."
There was a hint of condescension and bloodthirsty cruelty in his words. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Zhang Chen suddenly jumped up like a frog, and even his voice seemed to be trembling.
“Lin…Linhai Camp?” Zhang Chen’s reaction at this moment was completely true to himself. His confused and fearful look was clear, as if even his teeth were trembling. “You…you are the…the riotous…riotous soldier that people mentioned before! You…what do you want to do!”
